Youthful South Carolina signers aided independence
An editor’s note recalls South Carolina delegates to the 1776 Continental Congress who signed the Declaration of Independence. Edward Rutledge led the group, balancing caution with decisive action, and the four signers hailed from the lowcountry, educated in England, and aged 26 to 34. These young men faced the weight of rebellion while the state preserved their historic homes on the George Washington Trail.
